*The History of the Bitter CD: A Car with Character
*
First unveiled as a production model at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1973, the Bitter CD immediately made an impression with its distinctive design. Its chassis is based on the Opel Diplomat, and its mission was clear: to rival the success of Mercedes-Benz models of the era with a car that not only looked sensational but also delivered technically. Under the leadership of the German Erich Bitter, a former racer and car enthusiast, the Bitter CD was produced in collaboration with Opel and coach builder Baur. The combination of a powerful V8 engine, sleek design, and German commitment to quality made the Bitter CD a unique and admired presence in the 1970s automotive scene.
